Re: Chip Amp Voicing Is Definitely Dominated By POLLYinFLA's Disastrous Decision!

Actually tubeguy the DEQ 2496 works extremely well as long as you use it digital in/digital out only. I also recommend using it with a couple of jitte boxes on the input and output. That being said the built in DAC in stock condition is OK but easily bettered. However; bypassing all the opamps inside and transformer coupling it out apparently works very well. The ADC that is built in is also OK, not studio quality but not half bad either. I had the cheaper 8024 and it is really no comparison, the DEQ 2496 is vastly superior in terms of function and sound quality. The 8024 used with analog inputs is a disaster (if you get the optional digital in and out it is not too bad actually).
